The Apex of Imbecil1ty.
Casselton Blizzard.

For making of itself an uncompromising,
variegated, all-sorts-of an ass upon the
slightest provocation, commend US to the aver
age Dakota legislature. We have long been
painfully aware that the "bear gardens" at
Bismarck numbered but very few statesmen
or patriots amCug their constituent elements,
and had pinned our faith rather upon their
possession of Il certain amount of sense and
decency, but this prop has faiied also. and
the apex OF imbecllity and coarseness has
been reached du ring the recent session.

Clifford Should Make statement.

Delegate Clifford is now at Canton. After
he is rested up from his travels the Argus
would like to see from him tabulated state
ment of what he has done for Dakota, as also
some reason for his oft-repeGted statement
that the Democrats are responsible for the
failure to admit Dakota. He was on the
grounds and should be posted if anybody is
a statement of II few of these things would
be of interest to all and might convert some
who blame Mr.. Clifford very much. Shall we

Republican Commonda,ion.

Gov. Church has, in the brief time since he
assumed his present position, shown himself
to be a man OF quick conception and clear
judgement, with nowledge of the affairs
and needs OF this territory equaled by but
few of her public men aud eXcelled by none.
He has made free use of his veto power and
the localities effected thereby will for Il time
'feel sore, but close analysis of the meas
ures that have failed of his sanction will dis
close to the disinterested the fact that the
executive has acted for the good of the en-
tire territory--as he should.

crease. 1900 cents. W~orkingmen's
families, per capita cost for year 1885,
$1O1.97; per day, q 93-1Oo cents For
1886, 1914; per day, 26 67-lOO cents; a
decrease of / 27-1OO cents.
Such a disparity between the cost OF Nv
ing looks bad for the great State OF ONO.
IL is natural that there should be some
disparity, but it seems that should be the
other way, as these institutions have the
advantages of wholesale prices, are free
from taxea rent, etc. Yet it IS shown
that for subsistence alone these instltu-
tons average II 2-10 cents q day. Thrust
not be supposed that II 2-1O cents per day
applies only to inmates; it is the sum thar
it costs the State to feed the officers and
attendants as we'll as the lunatics. 1t Is
also shown that the expenditures OF 1853
persons averaged $40. 79, or II S2-1OOeents
per day.
This is getting it down to a fine point
being four and one-quarter cents per meal
for the Ohio wage worker, if the above can
he taken As an average. The Ohio wage
worker must rear his family upon thirty
three per cent. less than the State pays for
supporting criminals and paupers.
There is a screw loose somewhere.
